Very complete set of Elvis religious themed songs with great harmonies and spirit. The last biography I read about Elvis said he and the Jordanaires liked to sing gospel before performances or recordings. If you visit the Elvis Presley Birthplace park in Tupelo Miss. you'll hear some of these heartfelt tunes in the beautiful chapel there.

As a young boy in Tupelo, Mississippi, Elvis Presley became truly inspired by the sound of Gospel music while attending church with his father and mother. Years later, when he was aspiring to become a performer, he had a strong desire to sing as part of a Gospel quartet. As the greatest cultural icon of the 20th century, he left behind a remarkable legacy in music that remains unchallenged. During his career, he recorded a fine assortment of Gospel songs that became best-sellers and Grammy winners. This 4-disc CD set, "I Believe: The Gospel Masters" is yet another great collection of his finest music. Every track is remastered from the original tapes for superior sound quality. This set includes the title tracks from the 1957 EP "Peace In The Valley"; the albums "His Hand In Mine" (1960), "How Great Thou Art" (1867) and "He Touched Me" (1972). The complete contents from all of these releases are presented in their entirety. Such hit songs as "You'll Never Walk Alone" and "Crying In The Chapel" remain classic works in the Gospel tradition. Songs as diverse as "Working On The Building", "Mansion Over The Hilltop", "In The Garden", "Somebody Bigger Than You And I", "We Call On Him", "Who Am I?", "Amazing Grace", "Put Your Hand In The Hand", "He Is My Everything" and "Help Me" showcase his unlimited potential in this genre. Also included are film songs: "Sing You Children" (Easy Come, Easy Go), "Swing Down, Sweet Chariot" (The Trouble With Girls), "Let Us Pray" (Change Of Habit) and "Lead Me, Guide Me" (Elvis On Tour). And the song "If I Can Dream" from the historic '68 Comeback Special is a stand-out moment, as well. The set also features a booklet with liner notes by Ernst Mikael Jørgensen and Mike Cimicata, plus a forward from Gordon Stoker, first tenor for the Jordanaires. "I Believe: The Gospel Masters" is the perfect CD set for every fan of Elvis Presley and his Gospel roots.Read full review
Elvis Presley grew up singing gospel songs in his Baptist Church as a child. This collection is a must-have for all Elvis fans and Christian music fans. The remasters are excellent quality. And it's wonderful to have all his music in one collection.
